I wonder how different the outcome would be if the idiom used was not help but "instructions", as in, what portion of users did not want to admit they needed assistance? I'm not refuting the fact that people seldom read, but

If Russia's economy is kept afloat after 4 years of full-scale war... Why would one year of Trump 2.0 do us in? Don't get me wrong, a whole lot of problematic actions have been taken in that time-frame but that pales in comparison

I was never in webdev, per se. I switched from "fullstack" (which included backend+frontend as well as mobile/firmware/ML) to hardware eng at IBM, and then widened back out again to R&D Engineering at a startup to wo

I was a proponent initially of CLI when Claude integration with VSCode required a WSL instance, but now that it is integrated directly into VSCode I feel one grouping of tooling hiccups is now ruled out in my workflow. The only (major) nitp

Maybe it even is happening but will never reach us from their local observable sphere.

Very impressive stuff. I used to frequent the JS demoscene, mostly dwitter - but this is on a whole other level. Oh shit, this prompted me to check and turns out TinyTapeout is back to life! https://tinytapeout.com/

So, to make sure I understand what you are saying - any person whose life is gripped by intense interest in something and simultaneously they are irreligious is lesser or on the wrong path?

Personally, I learned on lead-free solder and the rosin core is almost always enough flux for me aside from rework. Always use an extractor/filter either way.

I see what you are saying, thanks for going into it. I agree that recency bias leads to adopting frameworks that are a poor overall fit for explaining ongoing (for the foreseeabel future) phenomena.

I'd also argue the culture of "digital degeneracy" has permeated the internet and is no longer locked away in, say, the bastion of mid/late 2000s 4chan. What used to be violent NSFL liveleaks content is now easily accesi

I agree with the sentiment, but that phrase is too strong to be used in an unfamiliar setting and won't land the same way outside of the anglosphere

The more we learn the more I'm unsure of whether it is a wonder anything exists at all or whether considering the scales of time involved (and hypothetical metaverse) whether it was all inevitable.

While your disambiguation is valid, they very much wanted to minimize the potential fallout from individuals staying in, say, a Norwegian hotel and sampling the local culture only to return and speak fondly of said trip "beyond the cur

Another point about Soviet scientists: it was very often a career-ending move to accept a Nobel prize unless you were a truly untouchable cult of personality and/or direct friend of those in power. See Andrey Sakharov, who first invent

I don't recall the exact language but it was rather flame-war-esque in a comment full of otherwise benign discourse. The issue isn't liberals or conservatives being mentioned. In what way do you think I broke the rules? That it wa
